Checking the memory of a USB stick

Do you want to know how much memory is available on your USB stick? That is easy to look up on a PC with Windows.


In the properties of the USB stick you can see how much storage space is occupied and still free.

  • Plug the USB stick into a free USB port on the computer.
  • Click the icon Windows Explorer Taskbar from File Explorer in the Taskbar.
  • In the left row is the name of your stick, often this is ‘Removable Disk’ or ‘New Volume’. If you have given the stick a name, this name will be displayed.
  • Right click on Removable disk, New Volume or the name of your stick.
  • click on Characteristics.

The window shows an overview of the memory space. A pie chart shows how much space has been taken up and how much space is still available.
